Hi I have a question can You add one setting to remember one option because every time when i want to found duplicate files i need to check "same contents" & uncheck "same name" & i need to change this every time so it's very annoying, can You change this to remember last choice?

Tnx:)

You may setup needed search configuration and save search template, and then create buttonbar button (or user-command) using LOADSEARCH command to load saved search template with saved search options.

Yea I known that I can create a special template but every time i change it i need to create a new one it's much more easy to create ini setting for remember my last settings then change it every time again & again:P

Nice idea, support too. I don't even remember when I had to search duplicates by name, but I regularly search for them by contents.

Sorry for being quite late "to the party" but I have tried to automate some searches only recently.

Why would you, in the above mentioned problem, have to create new templates time and again?

Just store one template with only the options you need all the time, in this case for instance as "FindDupes" with only the checkboxes in the "Advanced"-section set. Leave all other fields ("search for", "search in") blank and store the profile. When calling it, maybe via a button with "loadsearch", the "search in" field will be generated from the "active panel"-dir.

To "MVV", "Hacker" and the other experts:

When creating a button with "loadsearch", is it really not possible to immediately trigger the start of the search via that button-press?

Actually I have been searching the forum to find a method which would ideally - on press of said button - immediately execute the "loadsearch"-command and send the search results to a new panel automatically (like pressing <shift>'feed to listbox' after the search) - so far without success, as it seems.

Is there perhaps an analogous internal "runsearch" or "startsearch"-command, that I am unaware of?

The long talked about solution to start the file-search externally via command-line (again "buttonizeable") in a separate process of its own seems to be a mere item on the wishlist, still.

By the way: +++ Support +++ for the latter!

algol,

I don't think so (without AHK or similar).
